Chad Harbach Chekhov Quotations

Another older writer that had a huge influence on me is Chekhov. More contemporarily, it's hard to say.

There are no whys in a person's life, and very few hows. In the end, in search of useful wisdom, you could only come back to the most hackneyed concepts, like kindness, forbearance, infinite patience. Solomon and Lincoln: This too shall pass. Damn right it will. Or Chekhov: Nothing passes. Equally true.
